Picture Day at SLS

It is School Picture Day! Everyone has their picture taken. Mrs. Rovey is showing the proper technique for a "sitting".

We practice getting our best smiles ready for our photo. Smiling comes easier for some.

Here are a couple of really great smiles... I bet their school pictures will turn out quite well.

Pre-K students are waiting for their turn. What terrific kids attend at SLS.

Mrs. Magnus' eighth grade wanted to practice having their picture taken.

This may be our most photogentic group of students... but it is hard to beat the preschool and pre-kindergarten students in the area of cuteness.

Kindergarteners Struggle with Bears

Mrs. Brand and her kindergarten class worked all weeks with a group of unruly bears. On Fridays the bears took things from the classroom and took off. The class track them down to the yard behind the youth house. All is well now in the k-class.

Great Start, Great Kids, Great Ministry Time

We have the best kids at Springfield Lutheran. Thanks for being part of SLS.

Chapel Worship and Pastor Canaday

Had our first regular chapel worship today. We love being together and sharing our love of the Lord in this whole school worship.

Pastor Canaday traveled from the east like the wise men and share his faith with all of us.

Pastor Canaday played dad with one of our eighth grade students. It was all about keys and in this case - keys to the car.

Hale Hale the Farm's All Here - First Grade Farm Trip

Mr Hale and his family tend goats on their farm. The baby goats were a big hit and spent lots of the morning being carried around. They did not seem to mind all the attention...

What a fun trip to the Hale Goat Farm near Fordland. The Hale farm is very near a great creek with a good flow of water this time of year. Any ideas what the boys are all doing the minute we got there?

The day started out cool and cloudy but by lunch we were all getting rid of our jackets and enjoying the bright sunny skies. Lots to see and do on the farm.

Here are the Hales talking with Mr. Beckman as we watch the creek fill up with rocks from the kids.

Mr. Beckman is checking the shoes and boots of all the students. Some people were not to careful where they stepped.

Good Friday Chapel - 5th Grade

Mrs. Wanner and the 5th grade class lead our worship this last Friday on Good Friday. They presented a courtroom with the stern looking judge pictured above.

Lots of defendent were found to be guilty of various crimes. Our stern judge demanded punishment for these crime against the state. A Jesus like figure offered to accept the punishment for the other children. They gladly accepted his offer.

Lots of parents we also in attendance. We love it when parents are able to join us for worship.

Singing Saints Travel to Choir Contest

Choir Contest 2011 Strafford, MO.

The SLS Choir attended the Strafford Tri-M Music Festival yesterday and our choir received a “2+” rating which is very good (I told the kids that it’s equivalent to a “B+ on the school grading scale). A “1” is the top rating you can receive and the most coveted, but for our young choir I think a 2+ is very good. We will work on the little things the judges commented on yesterday so that when we go to the Six Flags Music Festival in 2 weeks, we will strive for that Superior rating!
